"They went to sea in a sieve, they did, in a sieve they went to sea; In spite of all their friends could say, on a winter's morn, on a stormy day, in a sieve they went to sea!" 10441915 Unison/Two-Part . . . . . . . . . 1.90 n Lake Isle of InnisfreeEleanor Daley. This simple, delightful setting of a Yeats poem embraces nature's beauty and the secret joy of solitude. In recent years this has become a popular choice with festival choirs. 8061509 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.70 n Lake Isle of Innisfree, TheDavid Brunner. This idyllic piece, with text by William Butler Yeats, highlights the various sounds that evoke Yeats's memories of Innisfree, a lake in County Sligo that was a favorite childhood vacation spot. Oboe and piano accompaniment add pastoral color while the natural stresses of the text gently shape the phrases and rhythms of this engaging work for high school SAB choirs. 10076817 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 4 The LakeJay Althouse.

Robert Louis Stevenson's poetry and Laura Farnell's music are perfectly wedded in this exceptional work for concert or festival choirs. There is some mixed meter, but it is so supportive of the natural rhythm of the text that the result is exhilarating. A dynamic work, full of wonderful contrasts, this is an outstanding choice for women's voices! Highly recommended! 10045367 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 4 Let Me InKurt Bestor & Sam Cardon/arr. David Kirkendall. This song from the motion picture "Rigoletto" has a thought-provoking text that makes it appropriate for general concert performances. "I love the part in fairy tales that's very near the end, when all the kingdom cheers for their new queen..." Hauntingly beautiful, with flowing vocal lines, moving lyrics, and an optional violin obbligato, this will be a favorite of your women's choir. 10505080 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 n Let There Be MusicJoel Raney.

Craig Hella Johnson's a cappella setting of Dolly Parton's Light of a Clear Blue Morning is infused with light and hopefulness as it opens with a solo soprano and gradually builds to a joyful overflowing of sound and vocal texture, then gently relaxes into a reflective conclusion. 10092212 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 H Lightning!Greg Gilpin. "Electric fingers reaching, reaching, skipping, darting, fleeting, tapping on the clouds..." The vivid imagery and word painting in this creative original are further sparked by dynamic contrasts, rhythmic interplay between parts, and the agitated, eerie atmosphere of the piano accompaniment. Set in minor mode, this wonderful teaching piece takes such unexpected twists and turns, it really sounds like a musical lightning storm! 10519890 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10067747 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10064860 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10307426 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10307427 TB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10064877 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26.95 Like the Beat of a DrumJay Althouse.

Margaret Walker's text leaps off the musical page as words crying to be sung. "My grandmothers were strong. They followed plows and bent to toil." This was not frailty - this was determined womanhood and is reflected in the bluesy organic framework of the piece. 10519323 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35 4 Love, Do You Hear Me Sing?Thomas Juneau. This joyful setting of a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson is ideal for developing treble voices in middle or high school. Singable phrases and vibrant harmonies shimmer over the sparkling accompaniment. "Over the land is April and over my heart is a rose, and over the high soaring mountain the sound of singing goes..." 10500867 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 l Love's TempestRuth Morris Gray. This original is based on a translation of a 19th-century text by Appollon Maykov. A fluid piano accompaniment imitates the motion of a tempestuous sea as legato voices ride above. The contour of the melody and the depth of the text create a beautiful marriage of music and words. Incorporate the cello part (included) to add another haunting layer. 10514952 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10515003 Multi-Song Accomp. CD . . . 44.99 n Magical KingdomJohn Rutter. A wonderfully imaginative text is perfectly wedded to a lyrical tune in this highly rewarding original for two- part voices. The colorful piano accompaniment contributes its own special character throughout, helping to create a feeling of mystery and wonder. "Everyone has their own magical kingdom, high on a hilltop and touching the sky; somewhere you go when you wish on a rainbow, somewhere you can fly... keep on believing, just keep believing in once upon a time... the land of dreams come true." Your students will embrace this magical song as their very own, and will sing their hearts out whenever they perform it! Highly recommended! 3302179 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10488396 Instrumental Parts . . . . . . . 50.00 t Manly Men (Men's Chorus Extravaganza) Kurt Knecht. Hilarious! Here is your chance to show off the personality of your men's group with style! Familiar melodies, such as Verdi's La Donna e Mobile and the Toreador song from "Carmen," are given new words to fit the egos of each different voice part. From the arrogant Tenors who sing louder when the pitch gets sour, to the Bassos who will revolt if asked to sing another "dip-dip- dip-dip-dah," this is a comic men's feature that will positively bring down the house! Don't miss it! 3290277 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35 n Marienwurmchen (Ladybug)Johannes Brahms/ed. Goetze.

A tale of the sea and unrequited love is artfully set here for SSA voices. This original poem is a bittersweet cry of the heart and is supported by an impressionistic piano accompaniment. The Mermaid's Lament offers great expressive opportunities for your singers, from clear unison singing to sweeping three-part textures. 10453985 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10453999 Multi-Song Accomp. CD . . . 44.99 n Mist on the RiverMark Patterson. This gentle piece was inspired by a photograph of the James River hanging in the composer's office. The text conveys the fleetingness of moments in nature as captured by the photo. The central melody is pentatonic, and the composition is perfect for a reflective moment in your concert. 10457313 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10457314 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10457315 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10457523 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26.95 l Music Came and Startled MeDavid Brunner. With a text excerpted from the beautiful Stacy Barton poem Flight, this work sings of yearning, dreaming and the sensation of flying with a gentle lyricism and dance-like quality with buoyant, lifted phrases. 10519369 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 4 Music in the NightVictor Johnson. This emotional, poetic original is so expressive as fluid melodic lines and beautiful harmonies are supported by a warm piano accompaniment. "When stars pursue their solemn flight, oft in the middle of the night, a strain of music visits me, hushed in a moment silvery..." Singable and lovely in every measure. Highly recommended! 10518216 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 n Music in YouJ. Paul Williams & Joseph Martin. "I've heard the song of the nightingale.

This practical volume will help the conductor provide purposeful leadership and develop artistry in each individual through exercises for breath support, open tone, flexibility, vowel uniformity, balance, intonation and much more. Each exercise includes a notated keyboard accompaniment with multiple modulations and professional recordings of a rhythm section and singers performing each drill on the enhanced CD. 10455065 SATB Book/ CD Pack . . . . . . . . . . . 34.99 " is is the best music company I have Ever used!!!!" —Anonymous, South Amherst, OH
